show ' the absurdrty of that statement,
Geors Mortlmef, vie president of th
I'nittjd Slte Realty and Improvement
company of New York, declares. In the
World, plans have been prepared ror lw

mediately ia doubtful, but Mr. Mortimer be
lieve It is bound to come In the near fu
tur. Think what a 100-story building mean
an edifice twk as high an the Singer
tower and 650 feet higher than the new
WoWworth building,.
A fw year ago, when it was believed
the building code would be amended to pre

Ajcordipg to Mr. Mortimer, the erection
of a 104-story building will not offer any
more t-erious engineering problems than
are to be found In putting up one of forty
f ve or fifty stories. The foundations will
have to be any deeper, for the eolld
rock below the surface of Manhattan won Id
upfxrt a W-4jtory building If it were pos
sible to 'build one. The problem of ele
vator -equipment becomes more serious, for
the spar devoted to them naturally ruts
down the renting area. The plans for the
ItaVstory building, which covers an area
of S0,im square feet, provide ninety ele
vator to carry the S.ts'O occupant and
hundred of thousands of visitoc to their

Loretta's Looking
. ji-
The peacock Is an Interesting bird, about
which" lies as variegated as It own plum
age have been fabricated. You know the
one about the pride and self-satisfaction
of the bird being actually reduced to noth
ing by a glimpse of Its ugly feet? I
watched a bevy of the parading birds for
hours Just lately, and not one of them
looked at Its feet once.
And you are like th bird. rlf-satlsfled
ss you are, you avoid or prevent the elimi
nation of your conceit by refusing to watch
your feet. Perhaps the inattention explains
the fact that they sprawl about in the
most unseemly way.
Do you happen to know anything about
that much-abused philosophy named for a
man with entirely good Intention which
hav been screwed to abnormality by a
lot of idiots? His nam was Franco Is
Delaarte. And he made long and careful
observation of th gestures and expres
sions of man. He deduced some Interesting
things. Tou ought to know of one of his
conclusions. Coarae-nalured people invari
ably adopt an attitude where their feet'are
wide apart. And you know for yourself
that there Isn't a kind of creature that
crawls with, wide-spreading limbs but
that fills you with a shuddering disgust or
loathing.
Th same principles and general truths
run through frog and female. A sprawl
ing girl Is dlsru sting. She give the Im
pression of coarseness. She robs whatever
attractiveness she may possess of Its
power, and smears the repulslvene of
sp rawly thing over her own personality.
But you don't sprawl. Ton refute the
charge with, indignation. Tou refuse .to see
that the effectiveness of your summer
finery, the appeal of your pretty face. Is
killed by the objectionable prominence of
your sprawling feet. All right. Miss Pea
cock. Continue sprawling if you like It.
But you certainly do look common and un
tenant ne. Of course. It's comfortable. Bo

The offense of the grand duke was the
harboring of revolutionary ideas. Early In
his career' he tad manifested a tendency
to balk at the autocratic measures of the
throne. Taken to task for his seditious
principles, the grand duke is said to have
thrown Alexander III into a perfect rage
by vowing thai he would give his life to
the work ot freeing Russia of a tyrannic
rulershtp. He expressed the hope that he
might live to see Russia a republic.
That very night, so the story goes, the
grand duke disappeared from all the haunts

Nine children came and gaxed at us and

well and sturdy they looked. I asked who
their doctor was. 'Doctor nothing,' was
the mother's answer. 'One of my young
ones was puny like yours, and I Just gave
him all the onion he wanted with dry
-.rusts of bread between meals.'
"From that day I started an onion diet
In my family, not quite as It was pre
scribed, but the children have onion once
a day. anyway, and I give them Iota of
buttermilk besides. I eat them myself, too,
but not when company Is coming, although
I do not see why a natural odor like that
should be so cried down and out of society
when th stale, urhealthy one of cock
tails Is considered permissible. When I
am apprehensive of a restless ntght I take
a glass of very hot milk before I go to

of onion grated on crisp lettuce, with
French dressing, in which Is chopped hard
